Over four years, guys. This costume has been around for four years. It's been to twelve conventions, the only costume for over half. It was my first costume, but now deserves a long rest.
The first version, debuted at A-Kon 13 (2002), was made the night before with some red lizard pleather. From there, it evolved through WalMart cheap fabric to denim; cotton jersey to "soft touch". The boots went from hiking boots to knock-off Ugs. I learned how to style hair with this costume. I think that no matter how old this costume gets, it's still going to have a special place in my heart.
